Jupiter offers great views as it’s very near opposition – the best time to view the planet. We should get some views of Saturn this time! The Moon should offer some great opportunities for images with your cellphone camera! We might catch a glimpse of brilliant Venus before it sets, but Mars is up to late, so we’ll miss it this time around. We should get a good look at some colourful double stars.
